Happy Birthday Rose Theatre

Kingston's Rose Theatre celebrated it's third birthday this week. The birthday party included a brilliant performance of Peter Brook's Love is my Sin starring Micheal Pennington (pictured, second from top) and Natasha Parry.

Peter Brook attended the party and is shown above (top picture, left) with another legendary theatre director, Sir Peter Hall.

The third picture shows Roger Chown (Campaigns Manager at the Rose) with actor John Altman.

Charity Donations

Barrett & Coe (Kingston) has raised £400 for two excellent charities in 2010.

The money has been donated to Bliss (which supports premature babies and their families) and the Love a Child foundation (which helps children living in poverty in some of the poorest countries around the world).

We look forward to supporting these charities further in 2011.

The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers, a new musical, has opened at the Rose Theater in Kingston and is playing until 2nd January 2011. I haven't seen it yet but the reviews have been excellent.

These pictures were taken on the press night, attended by Dawn French. She's pictured above with Francis Matthews, the Director of the show. The other pictures show the leading cast members.

Westminster Events

Spent much of the past two weeks covering some fascinating seminars and meetings at Westminster. Firstly, there was a delegation of MPs visiting from Tajikistan. They are shown above during a lunch meeting at Lancaster House (top picture).

Then there were over 50 MPs from around the Commonwealth attending a seminar about parliament and governance. This included meetings at the Supreme Court (5th picture) and at Speaker's House, hosted by the Speaker of The House of Commons, John Bercow MP (final picture).
